Gels
Silbione® RT Gels have been designed to meet the specific penetration, viscoelasticity and low viscosity requirements for fashion, comfort care and pressure relief applications.
For light-weight applications like external breast prostheses, Elkem Silicones offers low density gels that are 20-40% lighter than standard gels.
Low viscosity Silbione RT Gel 4220 offers excellent dampening to provide even distribution of pressure, providing greater comfort in a healthcare device.
Silbione gels can be encased in Silbione RTV or light-weight open-cell silicone foams for a comfortable cushioning effect.
